Yay, sorted and my prints are looking great! Everything looking fairy calibrated! Thanks again

Hi Damien, with the spyder 4 elite, do I calibrate for laptop or desktop for an iMac? IN one article you say desktop and another you say laptop? And in my studio I have windows and fluorescent lights (nightmare I know) so should I still turn off the ambient light reading on the spyder and turn off all the lights in the studio when calibrating? (even though that isn't my working condition)

Cheers Jess

Okay I'll give that a go. And you say the best way to correct the screen colour is through the Spyder tune section?

Thanks so much for you time, I really appreciate it.

Yes I think it does, that option is at the end of the calibration and is this where you can teak colours? 

No I mean the same as my iMac! Prints in comparison to both screen look terrible! Both screens are magenta

Almost the same, making the prints look quite green! 

Excuse the terrible iPhone photos, just trying to give you an idea of the colour difference! 

They are quite different. The monitor is much more magenta. I'll attach a iPhone pic! 

Yes I do, so I'll compare those and then what do you adjust to bring the monitor and printer colours close together? 

Thanks for the reply Damien! Okay so if you cant calibrate the two to be similar. Lets work on one screen....the iMac. Okay so its calibrated as per your instructions for the spyder pro4. Screen looks good, prints look awful and totally different now. How do you bring theses two within the same range? I am using a Canon Pro 1000, do I need to tweak the screen within the spyder software? 

I have a an Apple iMac 2011 and a MacBook Pro (20150 and I am trying to calibrate the two with a Spyder 4 elite so the screens/computers match. When you set up this process do the computers need to be physically connected or do you just run the software separately on each device? 

I have tried separately and the colours are immensely different. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks 

thats the one, thanks so much!

I saw on your FB feed sometime ago a link to making studio backgrounds that are slightly off white, white with the levels (I think), where may I find this feed or is there another link on making BG's white?

Thanks
